Everyone hates Monday no? I'm going to have trouble at work again tonight. I get back to my usual sleeping routine during the weekends and I'm wide awake on Monday mornings. By the time I'm at work, I seem drained. Guess it can't be helped unless I can keep awake at night and sleep in the day. Maybe a short nap later will do me some good.
Went out on Friday morning to get tickets for "Spider-Man 2" and "The Prince and Me" even though my legs were still hurting. Managed to get some for Saturday evening. The things I do ..... At least she was concerned and told me to get more rest. It appears to me that I don't spend enough time with SW.
There are things I want to ask her, to clarify with her. I feel lost, in the dark. I don't know what's going on. Maybe I can't handle the truth. It's like the lyrics of a song, something about being too scared to ask and too proud to lose. Perhaps its best to just wait until the time is right.
She didn't reply my sms and I've been thinking too much, unnecessarily - wondering what happened, what could have been etc. Maybe I should just let things be. If time permits, I'll see her this weekend again. I'll just wait until she calls or SMS-es me. Prediction: To get tickets for "King Arthur".
Oh, the things that I do .....

Again.....
I'm sitting at home, having pain in my thighs. It's happened again. I was immobile for about a day. I started feeling the pain yesterday, it hurt a little whenever I stood up to start walking. It got worse by the time it was time to go home. I couldn't even go up the steps into the bus. Managed to climb up after a few attempts. Managed to get alot of people worried. Bless them, especially Matt who was kind enough to offer assistance.
Wanted to come straight home when dad picked me up, didn't want breakfast. Just wanted to go to sleep. I was already half asleep while working on our presentation that night. As I was walking up the ramp towards the lifts, I somehow tripped over my own feet and fell forwards - landing on my knees before sprawling on the ground. My right knee's pretty banged up now. I had difficulty standing up because of the pain in my thigh muscles. Most of the pain is gone now.
Right now, I'm supposed to be standing in line at 1Utama getting movie tickets for Saturday. Maybe tomorrow morning when I'm feeling better. Hopefully tickets will still be available. Good thing SW's understanding. I guess she's been busy with her work as well. I'm looking forward to seeing her this weekend. It's been about 3 weeks now.
Went shopping on Monday. For the first time in a very long time, I bought something for my wardrobe with orange in it. I bought a pair of Nike Cortez which is white, and a bit of blue as well as orange. I've been debating for a long time to get this shoes, but previously I didn't. This pair isn't really my first choice due to the colour but it so happened that there was a size that fits so I guess that was what prompted me. It's difficult to get shoes in size-12s, maybe I was lucky.
Time to get more rest.....I think I need it.

Independence Day, Happy Holidays!
It's a holiday today, the 4th of July in the USA. A public holiday for us. Back to work tomorrow. That I don't mind, but its the damned quizzes that we'll be having the whole of this week. Didn't do that well for the first one (78%) but good thing I got 90% for the 2nd one. I didn't expect to go through quizzes and exams all over again!
Got back from Fraser's Hill yesterday. We left about 6 pm after a very late lunch. It was raining the whole afternoon and the drive downhill was slow and steady. Had to drop Darshini and Suaran off in Jalan Ipoh and then drove back home.
Tried archery for the first time but I did OK.....after the first 2 arrows. At least I was hitting the target board. Of course practice makes perfect. I ended up with a bruise on my left arm when I got hit by the bowstring when releasing the arrow. Sure there was that protective plastic plate but I guess I didn't have it in the right position. It was like being slapped with a leather belt.
I think it was close to 24 hours before I had any sleep when we were in Fraser's because we left about 6:30 am or so on Saturday morning after work. Then it was off to Setapak where we stopped for breakfast before heading to Selayang to get more things for the trip. Minor accident, lost one of the wheel arch deco when I scraped against a Wira. Scary! Can't believe I didn't see how close I was to the car. Thank god there was no one in the car at the time!
Weather was good, cool - just the way I like it. But I guess the rain spoilt alot of it. Overall it was a good trip, a bunch of fun people to hang out with.
Called SW last night and talked to her for awhile. Haven't spoken to for a while. It seems like a long time. It's a relief to hear her say she misses me, even its only a "little bit" as she puts it. We're probably going to watch "Spiderman 2" this Saturday. I might have to go out later and see if I can get tickets. Maybe I'll do some shopping. I've still got to activate the Citibank credit cards anyway.

I'm a Vampire now.....
It's been 2 weeks working at HSBC now. Sleeping habits still needs some adjustment. I sleep in the day and I work at night. Other than that, everything's fine and dandy. Except for the fact I had trouble remembering some of their names. Trust me, its really hard to remember names with 3 or 4 syllables!
One of our trainers told us the other day that by the end of our Induction (Orientation), we'll be so close to each other, we'll be like brothers and sisters. She was right. When we were told we're going to be split up for our process training, people started crying. It's hard to imagine but it really did happen.
Put a group of strangers together everyday for 10 - 15 days and at the end of it, they'd have formed a bond. It was something I witnessed first hand.
So, for the past 2 weeks, I had to act, sing as well as dance. Basically, made a fool of myself just like everyone else. But it was all in the name of fun. Because of all these activities, I've a new nickname (Lover Boy - and Priya particularly likes to call me that) because of the role I had in a sketch we had to act out. Now, everytime I walk past some of the girls (and guys) its "Hi, Lover Boy!". I've been told I had a soothing voice, so I had to sing a song to console some of the girls when they were sad over the "split".
I guess they're are all compliments? I guess I'll be forced to perform something when we all go to Fraser's Hill next weekend. It's the 4th of July and we'll be getting a holiday on the 5th as well! Whoo hoo!
The best thing about the past 2 weeks at work was payday! We got 1/2 month's pay (RM 900+) for doing almost nothing. All we did was listen to people give some talks, did some written assignments, a couple of presentations, watch some videos and played lots of games.
There was this game we played, which was called "Guardian Angel". All of us picked a random name out of a box and we would be this person's Guardian Angel. We were supposed to get small, inexpensive games for our "Mortals" for about 4 days. Turned out that my "Angel" was Nanthiny. Honestly, it was pretty sad because I didn't get anything the first 2 days. She wrote me a note and said she forgot. But I guess it turned out alright at the end. She was really sweet and got me 2 small soft toys and a rose on the final day.
Process training begins this week so we'll see how it goes. And I get to be in the same class as Priya! :D
I sms-ed SW the other day but she told me she was going to be real busy this weekend. She's got a freelance project to do. She did say she'll sms me. Then she found out she had to go back to the office on Saturday. She called me and we were supposed to have dinner. She ended up finishing work late. She said maybe she'd see me today - but she was busy and she wasn't feeling well. Guess I'll probably see her in 2 weeks time.

My first time.....
.....driving inter-state. What did you think? :P At least it was the first time in Malaysia anyway. The drive to PD wasn't that bad. Not bad for a first-timer.
Arrived late Saturday evening, about 5 pm. There were only 6 of us then - CN, MK, Grace, Mathu, SH and myself. We checked in and found out that it was only a 1-room apartment. We took a walk to the beach across the apartments after that.
When we got back, we found that the door knob had been almost ripped the door. We were afraid our apartment has been broken into and our things stolen. Thank god nothing bad happened. Redzal, Bulu and Black called to say they would arrive much later. Because of that, we booked the 10 pm - morning session for the BBQ pit.
Much to our surprise, Komeng and Botak arrived after that so it was a semi-reunion of sorts. We got our stuff and food ready and were all ready to go head to the BBQ pit, when it started to rain. We had to postpone the BBQ, and we didn't have it until about 12 am. We were not the only one, most of the other pits were all in use. The fire didn't start burning and it was about 45 minutes later when we could start to eat. Not long after, it started to rain again. So it was back to the apartment again.
By that time, there were 11 of us squeezed into a small 1-room apartment. We had games of UNO Stacko, "Chor Tai Dee", drank beer. The 4-girls took the air-con room while the rest of us guys had to sleep on the floor or sofa, much like after a drinking binge.
I brought the PS2 along and managed to convert most of them into Wrestling fans, or fans of the game at least. It was Smackdown the whole night and most of the next morning!
Time flies and its Monday again. It's the 12th of April and it seems the clock is ticking. It won't be long before end of May comes about and freedom is ours. Then its time to plan for the next step.
A couple of movies that are out I plan to watch, "Walking Tall" starring The Rock as well as "The Eye 2". Wonder when I'll get the time to do so. I haven't even watched the Wrestlemania XX VCD that I got a few weeks back! Where does all my time go to?
